On Christmas Day from Noon until 4 p.m. the Knights of Columbus will sponsor the twentieth annual free community Christmas dinner for those who would be alone, in need, or who would just like to be with us. This will be held at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 725 W. Ridgecrest Blvd. For those who are homebound, meal delivery may be arranged by calling 760-375-8901 between noon and 3 p.m. on Christmas Day.Last year five hundred seventy-four meals were prepared with about three hundred fifty of those being delivered to the homebound or taken out. Thirty-one turkeys were deep pit barbecued. Many pounds of ham and all the trimmings were served. Local musicians played live Christmas Carols while attendees dined. The meal and the festive atmosphere combined to make those in attendance feel welcome and special. Some sixty volunteers prepared, served, and cleaned up. Generous donations came from not only members of the local Catholic parishes but many others as well help make this event possible.For more information, please call 760-375-8901.
